I finally got into the floppy and unzipped the tar file. When I typed in
the 'make' command, I was told it wasn't found. So I did a search with MC
and it didn't find it either. So I guess now I'll have to install it from
the CD. How do I do that? Please be very explicit,as I truly am a
complete newbie. Thanks.
